Q: I live in a relatively dark Manhattan apartment on a low floor, with windows that block UV light. Only one room gets very bright for a few hours. It's not a cave, but it's not what you call a sunny apartment.

I'd like to have one plant in the bedroom, maybe two. Is there any such thing as a plant that thrives in darkness? That just seems like too much to ask. But I thought I would ask!

I'm also curious - do any of the herbs do well without direct sunlight? Rosemary might smell nice in the bedroom?
